Review


This restaurant is under new management with NEWLY TRAINED staff! While there were issues of cross-contamination years ago, the restaurant has worked to speak with staff and customers who have celiac and gluten-free needs to better understand and ensure our safety. This restaurant is great with gluten free foods and allergens! The manager brings out the entree of a plate specifically marked to let the kitchen staff and servers know it contains an allergy so no one touches it. The staff ALWAYS changes their aprons and gloves and uses specifically marked utensils and prep areas including scrubbing the grill if necessary. I am HIGHLY sensitive to cross-contamination and have never had any issues here (12+ times in dinning here). Not only do they do their best to guarantee safe kitchen prep areas, much of the staff are gluten free, celiac, or have other allergens and understand the necessity of keeping us safe! This food is safe, but also delicious! HIGHLY recommend!!

There are a lot of gluten-free options and the portion sizes are large! I am HIGHLY sensitive to cross contamination and have never had any issues (12+ times in eating here). The food tastes great and they work hard to get the best brands and ensure our safety. Much of the menu is already gluten-free it can be easily modified to be safe. The food tastes great! Highly recommend!

The food is locally sourced and owned. The bar has handmade cocktails and much of the food is homemade. I highly recommend for those with gluten-free needs, celiac, and their friends and family!
